Food SecurityFood securityFood security is a condition related to the supply of food, and
individuals' success to it and the animals as well. There is no
evidence of granaries being in use over 100,000 years ago, with
central authorities in civilizations including ancient China and
ancient Egypt and South Africa being known to release food from
storage in times of famine. At the 1974

Telex
The telex network was a public switched network of teleprinters
similar to a telephone network, for the purposes of sending text-based
messages.
TelexTelex was a major method of sending written messages
electronically between businesses in the post World War II period. Its
usage went into decline as the fax machine grew in popularity in the
1980s.
The "telex" term refers to the network, not the teleprinters;
point-to-point teleprinter systems had been in use long before telex
exchanges were built in the 1930s. Teleprinters evolved from telegraph
systems, and, like the telegraph, they used binary signals, which
means that symbols were represented by the presence or absence of a
pre-defined level of electric current. This is significantly different
from the analog telephone system, which used varying voltages to
encode frequency information
